WhatsApp Business API for Jeypore's cashew units, colleges and travel desks
Jeypore was a king's capital before it was a Koraput town, and Koraput district was made in 1936 from the Jeypore and Kashipur estates. Today its cashew, colleges and new flights all start with someone's first message.
For Jeypore's cashew processors, the colleges and coaching centres around Vikram Dev University, the travel desks that grew with the airport, and the firms that supply Sunabeda and Damanjodi: what each step of a customer's consent allows you to send on WhatsApp, which templates to approve, and what each costs.

From a number in the register to an opted-in buyer
A Jeypore cashew unit holds years of buyers' numbers, but a number alone allows nothing. Step through one buyer's climb to see what each rung lets the unit send, and what happens when the buyer says STOP.
Most mistakes happen on the bottom rung: importing a register and broadcasting to it. Start from the buyer's own message, ask for the yes to updates when they order and the yes to offers separately, and the ladder takes care of itself.
The 24-hour service window explains the second rung; India's DPDP Act adds its own consent duties from 13 May 2027.

Market brief
Jeypore and Koraput in eight lines
From the Koraput district website's home, history and economy pages, Invest India's ODOP list and IBEF's Odisha profile; the 1777 defeat, the university and the airport from the encyclopaedia, as general background.
- 01
Koraput district covers 8,807 sq km and 14 blocks along the Eastern Ghats in the south of Odisha, and its website calls it the heartland of the tribal community in the state.[1]
- 02
Vinayak Deo, founder of the Jeypore Raj family, inherited the Silvamsi kingdom in the middle of the 15th century; Vir Vikram Deo moved his headquarters to Jeypore about the middle of the 17th century, and under Vikram Deo II the capital was finally transferred there.[2]
- 03
Koraput district came into being on 1 April 1936 from the ex-zamindaries of Jeypore and Kashipur; the district's history credits the Maharaja of Jeypore, with Maharaja Krushna Chandra Gajapati of Paralakhemundi, with a crucial role in that period.[2]
- 04
The district's economy rests on forest and agriculture; the HAL factory is 15 km from Koraput town, and NALCO extracts alumina from bauxite at Damanjodi.[3]
- 05
The district site carries notices for the Jeypore–Malkangiri new broad-gauge rail link project.[1]
- 06
Invest India's ODOP list names cashew as Koraput's product.[4]
- 07
The kingdom was defeated by the East India Company in 1777 and became a zamindari, later a princely state, until 1947; Vikram Dev University is in the town, and Jeypore Airport began commercial flights in October 2022.[6]
- 08
IBEF lists aluminium, mining, iron and steel and tourism among Odisha's key industries.[5]

Questions Jeypore businesses ask
Question: Shop owners in Visakhapatnam ask our Jeypore cashew unit for W240 and W320 prices. Do those replies need templates?
Answer: No. When the shop owner writes first, your grades, photos and prices are replies inside the 24-hour window, at ₹0.145 each, with no template. Each new message from the buyer opens a fresh window.
Question: Our Jeypore cashew unit packs cartons for shops across Odisha. Can each shop get its invoice and dispatch note on WhatsApp?
Answer: Yes, for shops that agreed to order updates. An invoice or dispatch note about their own order is a utility template at ₹0.19. If you bill in Busy, InfiQ's integration sends invoices and reminders with no integration fee.
Question: Students write to our coaching centre near Vikram Dev University in Jeypore about admissions. Can we send them exam-date notices?
Answer: To enrolled students who agreed to updates, yes: an exam-date or fee notice about their own course is a utility template at ₹0.19. A message promoting a new batch is marketing at ₹0.94, for those who opted in to offers.
Question: Since flights began at Jeypore Airport, our travel desk books trips to Bhubaneswar. Is a flight-time reminder a utility message?
Answer: Yes. A reminder about a ticket the traveller bought, with the time and the booking reference, is a utility template at ₹0.19. A fare sale to past travellers is marketing and needs their opt-in.
Question: Our customers around Jeypore write in Odia and Desia. Which language should our templates be in?
Answer: Neither Odia nor Desia is a Meta template language, so approve templates in Hindi (hi), English or Telugu (te), whichever your readers know best. Replies inside the 24-hour window need no template and can be in any language.
Question: We supply consumables from Jeypore to contractors at Sunabeda and Damanjodi. Can our order system send delivery notes itself?
Answer: Yes. A delivery note or purchase-order acknowledgement is a utility template at ₹0.19, sent through InfiQ's developer API, included on Growth and an add-on on Lite. Signed webhooks report each delivery back to your system.
